Sam's 2 month old Pictures

These are the pictures that I took for his 2 month old birthday. They turned out pretty good, but hopefully Ashlyn will be able to take some more today of Sam.
I'm really tired of taking pictures
I love his eyes.
He looks kinda confused.
My big baby boy.
He really wasn't in the mood.

Happy Sam

I am really glad that all of my kids are really happy babies. Here are some picture of baby Sam at the end of last month. He was 2 months old. I am just getting time to post to the blog.
Sam is a really happy baby.

Sam laughing
His hair look red in this picture. Ben also had red hair, but it changed to a light brown.

Guy, Peg, and Joshua came to visit.

My brother Guy, and his wife Peg came with there son Joshua to come see us. They meet all of us at Papas Pizza to visit. It was really nice to see everyone.
Ben in the outfit that Aunt Bonnie gave him. I thought the shorts look really cute. Look at those rolls in his legs, and they are even bigger now.
We added Jamie and Jerimiah in this picture.
My nephew Josh is on the left hand side. He is really tall. Corey is holding Sam, and Ashley is holding Ben. He really didn't want to take pictures.
The kissing Cousins. (Abbie and Ben) Whenever they get together they always kiss. They are only 7 months apart.
Abbie and Ben hugging. Ben really doesn't look at the camera. He is way to busy.

Ben is a BIG BOY.

Ben has been sleeping without his binkie for about a month. I listened to screaming, yelling, and kicking the wall when he was going to bed for a couple of days. He is doing great now. He doesn't like going to bed but when he does it is really easy for him to fall asleep now. When he finds Sam's binkie he puts it into the sink. I thought he would start trying to use Sam's but it really hasn't happened. Next we are going to try and potty train. I am waiting about another month. The doctor told us that boys usually potty train around 2.5 or 3. He will be 2.5 in July.

Ben without a binkie. He is sleeping with the doll that Denise and Alia gave him. He also sleeps with his Elle.

A Little Late- Mothers Day

Mothers Day
We had alot of fun. We went to a park in a neighborhood. It was really nice because the kids were the only ones there. They could play on anything they wanted to. We got some pictures with the grandkids with their cousin that is closest in age. Samuel is the only one that doesn't have a cousin close to his age. We need to get someone to work on this.
Alia and Aubrey in the car together. They are about 2 months apart. The only set that are girls.
Shane and Sierra on the motorcycle. They are the oldest set. They are about 4 years apart.
Julian and Madison are about 1 month apart.
Benjamin and Abbie are about 7 months apart and are now the kissing cousins. They are so cute. It is neat to see them communicate with each other.
Here they are again

Benjamin is a big boy

Just to let everyone know that Benjamin is not using his binkie anymore. He really loved it and he had a hard time letting it go. He actually still sometimes asks for it when he goes to bed. I just remind him that he is a big boy and they are all gone. He probably doesn't understand because Sam has a binkie. It was really funny when he went to bed tonight. He wanted to give Sam a kiss but he had a binkie in his mouth. Benjamin pulled the binkie out of Sams mouth and kissed him on his lips and then gave him his binkie back. Benjamin also likes to put his finger in Sams binkie and let Sam bite his finger. He uses the ones from the hospital that has a whole in the center. Sam really likes you to put your finger in the whole to help him keep it in. Now our next task is to get Benjamin potty trained. Our doctor told us that most boys are potty trained at around 2.5 or 3. So we have a month before Ben turned 2 and a half. It is hard to believe that he is that old. He also did a load of laundry today. He put all of the clothes that were on the ground and put it into the washer and I put the soap in and started it. He has become a really big helper, and I think it helps that I give him change to put into his piggy bank for helping. He has also been caught trying to take money out of Grandmas wallet and mommy's wallet for change for his piggy bank.

Samuel John is 2 Month Old

Today I had an appointment for Samuel and he is 12lbs 7.5ozs at 2 months old. Just to let you know how well he is gaining weight most 2 month olds gain 2lbs 6ozs after birth in two months. Samuel gained 5lbs 11ozs in two months. I think that they told me that he was 23 inches long. I believe that he is going to be a big boy. He is smiling and laughing a lot. I will try and post pictures tomorrow. We took some pictures with just a diaper because it was 88 degrees in our house today. Lets just say that we are going to try to install the AC tomorrow.
